📋 About This Mod

Welcome to Decisions With Regrets, a fully voice acted quest mod by David L Allen. Join a medical research project which may help a problem sweeping the wasteland ... but is the cure worse than the disease? Decisions with Regrets is a medium size quest mod, with emphasis on conversation and moral decisions rather than combat. If you like this mod, you may also like my second mod, The Most Dangerous Game. It has more combat than this mod. Plus, robots! This is version 1. 2, released February 8, 2011. Changes in 1. 2

  • []Added two unique quest rewards for leaving either Lavelle or Crosby in charge. You can get these rewards, without losing NCR standing. []More voice acting! Added the last NPC (John Stoyer). Replaced voice for Mark and Cahill. Re-recorded a few lines for Doctor Lavelle and Doctor Crosby. []Fixed bug in 1. 1, first attempt at letting Mark sleep downstairs introduced multiple problems such as being able to enter the shelter too early. []Added message box to give a clue about why the securitron loses power.
Changes in 1. 1
  • []Voice acting! All but one of the nine NPC\'s now have voices. There is no lipsync. The tools to do this are too painful and time-consuming for me to use. []Re-arranged dialog at the climax to avoid problem for some players, where Major Stoyer does not have any conversation to start. For these players it made the quest impossible to complete. []Fixed bug which sometimes prevented Glowing One ghouls from dropping the Glowing Tissue Sample. []Multiple small dialog tweaks for clarity and characterization, mostly suggested by phoenix1213 @ bethsoft. []Since female voice acting is harder to find, changed gender of Major Stoyer from female to male. []Changed appearance of several minor characters to match voices.
